Great British Menu 2020 chefs: Shauna Froydenlund, Northern Ireland heat
Shauna Froydenlund is the joint chef patron of Michelin-Starred Marcus in London with her husband Mark.
Shauna reached the regional final two years ago and is back, competing on Great British Menu for the second time!
Originally from Londonderry, Shauna moved to England to study culinary
arts, before taking a job at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant Pétrus which was run by Marcus Wareing.
Shauna has been loyal to Marcus throughout her career, being made demi chef de partie on the pastry section when Marcus opened his eponymous restaurant at London’s Berkeley Hotel. Marcus is also where she met her now-husband and joint chef-patron Mark Froydenlund.
Shauna's menu is very personal, celebrating her passion for children’s literature and her love of reading to her daughter.
